The forum seemed different to me for just a few minutes, then everything OK :) :)

I am finding the font is quite small to read and also I have tried to change it when posting from Normal to Large but it just keeps going back to normal.

Can you help Richard please.

Your internet cache are files saved on your computer that saves the computer time so that it doesn't have to download everything for a website every time you go there -

So it sort of remembers the basics of each page. This makes browsing the net quicker, but sometime things get stuck and you have to clear it so that it re-download the correct thing.

I believe you use an AOL browser so i'm not sure where the option will be, but somewhere in the option of your browser will be a button or tick box that says something like 'clear internet cache'

One you've done this then it will re-download the forum templates and everything should be black in the subject box.

Hopefully this link will help.

I'll have a look and see if there is a default i can change for you Maureen & Harry. - It is quite small!

- Edit:

I have increased the font size of the whole board - hope this helps!

Thanks Richard--I will try that out--but funnily enough, I have done a few replies today-and one of them was black--just like normal . This one is still green.

So I guees the internet cache is something like Cookies ??

Sort of. Cookies are bits of information about the site you visit, the Cache is whole chunks of a website saved to you computer.

I like everything about this forum upgrade. Thanks Richard! I'm hoping it works better with my BlackBerry. I would write long posts and then they couldn't be sent for the past few months. Sometimes it would work, but usually I would get frustrated and leave.

I do not want to mess things up--and everything seems to be Ok today--a nice black screen.
